2004-2009 Mazda Mazda3 - Hatchback | Used Car Review | AutoTrader

I got 150, 000 miles and still going strong on my 2004 mazda3 2.3 hatch. Rusty brake rotors, A few failed motor mounts, and a roasted blower (AC/heat) motor were the biggest problems I encountered. Overall, still a very healthy car for it's age.

I have the 2006 Mazda 3 S Sedan and I absolutely love my car. I picked it up used in 2009 at 32k miles and kept it well maintained. To this day friends and family who haven't seen it before can't believe the features I have (heated seats, Navigation) for a 2006 car. Steering is tight, sporty features, low maintenance you name it. It really does everything better than the Civic. I refuse to recommend any other 4 cylinder car.

gotta love Michael Fisher he's a legend

I've owned my 2008 2.3 hatch for almost 6 months now. Just hittin 100k. Absolute fun to drive. The torque is great.

If I could find a hatchback, in that purple color at the end, I'd be sold.

We have an ‘05 and an ‘08 and love them both. Fun to drive and if you keep the oil changed and they go and go. Coming up on 130K on the ‘05 and just hit 100K on the other.

They forgot to mention that the Grand Touring also has HID front headlights and LED taillights.They also orgot to mention it also has auto headlights (as well as the auto wipers that they mentioned). Lastly BOSE premium sound sytem on the GT.... buy the Grand Touring. 

[SkimDe]

My dream car. I would like it either white or dark blue.

Please do a used car review of the 2001-2005 Lexus IS300!

[mintsauce]

Had a 2007 GT for 3 years - test drove an Impreza today and still preferred the 3. It's been bloody amazing, very few issues and so much fun to drive. Probably just going to replace it with another one.

[manfromnantucket]

Didn't mention the many rust issues?

[WintersGhost]

i have an 2004 mazda 3 with a 3.4l engine. it's a great little car and a lot of fun with the manual transmission.
